AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

VIAV has shifted from a cyclical test-equipment name to an AI data-center and defense/standards platform with real margin improvement, but after a sharp rerating the stock now depends on proving sustained execution and cash conversion while avoiding dilution and a breakdown in the high-30s support.
